Well, I did tell you to burnish the contacts, but then, aside from Grace Hopper, you are probably only the second person on the planet that can attribute an electrical failure to and actual "bug". Enjoy the attaboys for a job well done, and cheap too (if one does not measure curses and sweat).
Fyi, Terrapod, Google "crazy ants" not sure if they have figured out why, but the little fuckers love current and will sneak into electronics and short them out.
We had a plague of roaches a few years back thanks to the Welfare Crack-House next door being gutted and fumigated. They didn't even look back wistfully at their "home" country as the invaded my house.
Happily, we were able to get effective insecticides and killed them all.
The bug that got the contact died inside the switch assembly and just recently fell down to block the contacts.

Our bug was a cockroach.
